A Complicated Profession 99: The Most Awkward Fondue Ever

Time for a wedding and…murder?! Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are back to cover the first chapter of season 2 of Andor, including important questions like: Should wedding hikes come back in fashion? How do you choose between two identical white outfits? And why are we watching a 1950s PSA about spiders? Lucasfilm Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

Jason, Chip and Erika break down “The Well,” in which Russell T Davies (and his co-writer Sharma Angel-Walfall) decided to play the hits and serve up what “Doctor Who” does best. It’s a base on an alien planet that’s been out of contact for days. (Nuking the site from orbit is the only way to be sure, right?) Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.

The year is 1995. The films: “Hackers” and “The Net,” in which computers are proven to be dangerous for society. One is a ridiculous movie about teen hackers that knows it’s silly, and the other is a ludicrous thriller about adult hackers that doesn’t. Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin, Erika Ensign, Joe Rosensteel, Moisés Chiullán and Tony Sindelar.

We are not ready to part from Pride & Prejudice yet, so we have extended our mission to include the 2005 version. This beautifully shot film provides our agents with a sweeping romantic version of the story that we cannot resist. Annette Wierstra with Katie Mack, Sandra Wong and Moisés Chiullán.

Casey’s still mad that someone tried to blow up the building. Brian and Lex are mad because — no, they didn’t: It was a bomb threat hoax. There’s a difference, Casey. Meanwhile, Jeremy chases down a cricket story. Or a wicket story. We don’t understand it either. And Rebecca returns — only good things can follow, right? RIGHT?! Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

This episode of The Last of Us is the emotional equivalent of a barrel of gasoline being thrown at the audience and set on fire. We hope you’re doing okay and that this conversation can help you process some of your feelings, because your hosts certainly needed this. Plus, Seth makes a mean steak sandwich and a wire fence is the second worst villain of the episode. Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton.

Podcasts are the original voices in your head. David Dredrick discusses John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids (1955). John McCoy with David Dedrick.

Amazing! It’s the return of 7 or C, that long lost Game Show Thanksgiving tradition, this time not at Thanksgiving, nor is it returning in the seventh month, or in a month that starts with the letter C. Tony Sindelar with James Thomson, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Monty Ashley and Erika Ensign.

Listener Ben asks: If a Buoy is unanchored and works hard to stay where it is, is it the Roomba of the seas? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

In this episode, Lovyn scampers out of the rage zone, Frittat’ha is finally tanking, Lonewalker does a little deelybob, Naiasa has secret agent vibes, and Hermioneigh shoves a berry in someone’s mouth. Oh, and Tony doesn’t want to call the wargs by name. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.
